My earlier post, wasn't made up. I was REALLY REALLY sleepin wif my fingers holding down the "O" key. lol. can't believe it. If you havent read it yet, read the earlier post, then follow up with this one.
ok, shall continue,
8.45am Gracia strolled in with her new haircut. Damn shockinglah! She look more mature now. lol. What happened to the old Graciaaaaa??? oh well, dont care. Next!
11.00am Mark ended his lesson. Yayyyyyyy!!! After the long hours of talking about career prospects and all, I had the sudden urge to go to the Esplanade. I was feeling happy. Dunno why. Unexplainable. Emoboi 1 and Emogirl wants to go and eat at Hill Street but I was still persistent to go to the Esplanade instead eventhough I was famish.
MY ESCAPADE
11.01am Walked towards Esplanade through CityLink. Many zombies lurking around without any expressions on their faces. I think some dreaded the fact of having to go to work on a great morning!
11.10am Saw Daniel walking towards me. I wondered where he came from. Took a right turn and went inside HMV to look at the titles and names of the various CD's that I can find; Busted, 5IVE, Click for 5. What constitutes a good band name? What makes a band name to be remembered in the long run and not bands like Colour Me Badd. Remember them? lol. I thought of a few names myself if I want to manage a band next time in the future like Centre Piece or Centre Peace and Oska or Oscar.
11.30am Reached Esplanade. Yayyyyy!!! Saw some of the art pieces, the Mosaic ones. What constitute good art? Just because one bloody fella said that, "THIS IS ART", therefore we have to accept it? Just because it is placed in Esplanade, does that mean its good art? I should do some painting. I think a Picasso is just waiting to be unleased. BRING ME MY PAINT!
11.40am Reached the outdoor theatre. Damn bloody hot! This tanned boy is turning into satay very soon if he's not careful. I looked at the outdoor stage and really can't wait to perform there in April. Dream slowly becoming true. And as I gazed at the sea, past memories slowly sinking in. And all I can do is smile.
11.56am I can't stop walking! Took a stroll towards Millenia Walk. Saw some aunties and uncles underneath the bridge, reading Chinese texts. Falun Clan if I remembered correctly. Very peaceful people. Nevermind. Enjoy!
12.00noon I thought i wanted to head back to sch to meet up with the President for lunch but as I looked across The Padang, I had an itch to visit City Hall aka The Supreme Court. And so I did! Walked across the Padang under the scorching sun and starting to sweat profusely. Why am I doing this???
12.06pm Reached the Old Supreme Court. Damn HUGEEEE. THE PILLARS!! I love pillars for those who doesn't know. If I have a house, I want to have pillars similar to the ones found in ancient Rome. As I walked up the fleet of steps, a huge bronze lion head door knob greeted me. It was a big as my headlah! But its justifed since the arduous door was just looking down on me. The door is damn hugelah!!! You guys just got to see it to believe it. And on the right side of the door, there was a plaque that said, "This is where Mr Lee Kuan Yew declared Singapore's Independance in 1965" The view is just marvellous I tell you. Indescribable. The view is SOOO WIDE!!! OH OH! Don't forget, this is where the Maria Hertogh riot happened! Happeninglah! I can just imagine the crowd and the intensity that is flaming at that moment in time.
12.08pm. I wanted to see and hear some trials that might be happening in the new Supreme Court. Security was damn tight! The Cisco officers didnt give me any chance. Could have talked to me nicely though. I dont mind being frisk and all but I do mind the courtesy. I had to take off my crown and my belt buckle! HELLO excuse me, how am I going to walk around like that?! My jeans are already baggy without the belt, imagine without it. I moved around freely with my heavy bag at the Cisco counter but my hands were struggling to hold my jeans up. I looked damn stupidlah. Move, pull up jeans, move, pull up jeans. Urghh. I was lost eventhough I had the schedule in hand. I asked one of the people working there
ja: "Excuse me, do you know where I can hear some trials?"
lady: "Oh, why are you here?"
ja: "I'm on a tour"
lady: " With who?"
ja getting a lil impatient: "I'm touring on my own. I'm from SMU and I just want to sit down and listen to some trials for fun"
lady: "Oh, everybody's out for lunch"
ja: ".......... (smiles) thanks!"
she could have spared me the interrogation and juz get straight to the point
The New Supreme Court is just majestic I tell you. Damn futuristic. I felt as if I'm in one of the CSI drama. No KIDDING! When you walk in, you're eyes will be looking upwards in awe because the place is damn FREAKING BIG! Most of the trials are civil cases except for 1. And that is the criminal case. They're gonna continue the trial on monday. I might head down there to take a look. Culpable Homicide if I'm not wrong. If my law is still fresh, culpable homicide means justifiable killing i.e. self-defence.
12.25pm Headed down towards Admin Building to meet up with Provost and Woody Hunter to have an informal session over lunch. I had pasta!!! yummy. shiok. Xiaohui was sitting beside, chewing her food while listening to the conversation and fake laughter at times. ME was eating happily, thinking of what to chew next. =)D
12.40pm Many issues were brought up. The new hostels off Prinsep Street, bitching about College Green but one took the cake when all of a sudden, when the president asked, "Is there anything else", one guy said
"The concourse is too long". Everybody started laughing. I couldn't contain myself. I was covering my face and laughing softly in my stomach because I just dont want to be rude. Others things he said.
"I came not for the free lunch but to meet the Provost and the President to discuss issues" Dude, i'm in da same boat but I dont explicitly SAY IT!
"I think the school should have more playstation on Level 3 and 4 of the Library so that people can rest more". DUDE, that's by Galillee not by the school.
Happening. Entertainment while eating. What else can I ask for.
After which, walked to Bugis with Xiaohui to get her shades. Walked! Surprisingly, it wasn't as tired as I would have expected.
I did a lot of walking, seen so many great historical sight all within 2 hours. Try it. Walk. You'll be surprised to know that there are many things out there that are just waiting to be explored and all of then are within your walking distance and around you. Till then.

im so incredibly sad that you dint mention about the neoprints. which rock btw. just that. im hot, youre not. lalallalallaa.
gotta watch out for those zombies. and culpable means:-
sufficiently responsible for criminal acts or negligence to be at fault and liable for the conduct. Sometimes culpability rests on whether the person realized the wrongful nature of his/her actions and thus should take the blame.
whatever that means.
i damn lousy at neoprintslah!!!
and yes fi, thats the definition. for example, if Mr T went inside his room to find Mr XXX padabamming his wife, and Mr T takes a screwdriver and stabbed Mr XXX, then he might not be charged with culpable homicide. i hope i'm right. have not been taking criminal law for so long.
